Sweet Fire

Tamera looked up at the dark sky and then at the door. Nervously, she rose from the bed and paced the room. She was worried about her sister. Nana told her Samira went to the riverside to cool off. But that was three hours ago! She has been gone for a long time.

"Where are you?" She wondered, impatiently.

Almost instantly, the door opened and then Samira entered. Tamera rushed to her. "Oh my god, where have you been?" She questioned.

"I was cooling off at the riverside." Samira replied and then moved towards her bed.

Tamera followed while talking. "Yes, I know that. But why did you take so long? I was so worried sick that something ha..." She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed something.

"Where is your bra?"

Samira froze for a moment. Looking down at her chest, she spoke. "My bra? That's weird. Where did it go?" She met Tamera's gaze again and added. "I definitely wore a bra this morning. Oops, then it might have flown off to somewhere."

Tamera listened to her sister speak nonsense and then realization hit her. "What did you do?" It was in a serious tone at first, and then she smiled. "Samira don't tell me you gave yourself to Eros."

"I didn't." She replied and then Tamera looked confused.

"So where is your bra?" She was back to the first question.

"The river carried it away, okay?" Samira turned to move to the bathroom, but Tamera blocked her path.

"Something happened between you and Eros didn't it?" There was excitement in Tamera's voice as she asked. "You made love at the riverside, that's why the water took away your bra."

"Nothing happened." Samira insisted.

"No, something happened. You went out today as a virgin and came back a woman huh?" Tamera grinned and poked her sister in the ribs. Samira's cheeks went scarlet and hence confirmed her sister's suspicion.

Samira quickly rushed into the bathroom and locked the door behind her. With her back against the door, she pushed her blushing face into her palms and grinned. She undressed and got into the bathtub. While bathing, she recalled every little thing they did at the riverside.

Tamera was waiting on her bed when she exited the bathroom. Her grinning face told Samira she wouldn't stop asking until she told her what happened.

"Right here." Tamera tapped on the bed and then made room for her to sit down.

"Fine." She gave in and then Tamera squealed. "But am not giving any details." Her sister's smile shrank, but didn't vanish. Samira clasped her hands together and started her tale.

It was raining uncontrollably when they went downstairs for supper. Eros was already there. He wore a sweatshirt over sweatpants and his wet hair falling on his face, made him look hot.

"Hi." He said as the sisters sat down and flashed a secret smile towards Samira. She blushed and then tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

Tamera noticed what they did and pretended not to. Looking away, she decided to give them some time to flirt with each other. She sighed with contentment that her sister was finally listening to her heart. She was happy for her. Now, work won't be all she thinks about.

After dinner, the sisters were moving to their room when Eros called.

"Samira, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yes, sure." She replied and then asked Tamera to go ahead without her.

Eros walked up to her and then entwined her fingers with his. As soon as Tamera rounded the corner, he wrapped an arm around Samira and then brought her into his arms. In a swift motion, he claimed her lips. His mouth moved over hers until she parted her lips and allowed his tongue inside her mouth.
